Rather like a satellite navigation system directing a vehicle to a particular destination defined by post-code, immune cells have homing molecules or ''immune post-codes'' enabling them to be recruited to specific organs, such as the intestine or skin. An efficient system would be designed such that

Eighty-eight percent (38/43) patients of intestinal tuberculosis showed significant hyperaggregation of platelets (P < 0.001). Serum and plasma from 15 patients when incubated with normal platelets caused hyperaggregation. Gel filtered platelets from 2 patients suspended in normal plasma showed hype
## Abstract Stem cellβmediated tissue repair is a promising approach for many diseases. Mammalian intestine is an actively regenerating tissue such that epithelial cells are constantly shedding and underlying precursor cells are constantly replenishing the loss of cells. An imbalance of these proce
Background: Detergents and emulsifiers added to food may destroy the mucus barrier, which normally isolates bacteria from the intestinal wall, and lead to chronic bowel inflammation in susceptible persons. We investigated the influence of 2% carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) on the biostructure of the in
## Background: Both maternal obesity and inflammatory bowel diseases (ibds) are increasing. it was hypothesized that maternal obesity induces an inflammatory response in the fetal large intestine, predisposing offspring to ibds. ## Methods: Nonpregnant ewes were assigned to a control (con, 100% o
